This is such a coincidence to see since I was literally talking with a friend last night on the viability of AA dps on a kiting cruiser and the first thing I see this morning is AA Zao. Weird.
When playing ZAO: 1. NEVER camp NOR play it like Moskva, Stalin or other cruisers (holding one position and going backwards - BBs and cruiser with heavy guns will penetrate the deck). 2. ALWAYS move, plan ur moves ahead with situation on minimap 3. NEVER stop watching the minimap and use those long range torps as cover When I started to play (4 yrs ago) Zao was the BEST cruiser of them all. Then WG nerfed it, BUT it is still great ship. PS If u are not that expereinced I advise you french superheavy C - MARSEILLE. That ship is awesome. LARGE main guns damage in combination with "fast reload" consumable can obliterate ANY battleship. It has also very nice secondaries, but they are all in the back, so dont rely on them. Fast reload consumable is VERYYY lethal for any broadisiding BB thinking "ahh, its just a cruiser". If u are new to the game, DO NOT PLAY BBs ONLY - I made that mistake, I needed months to learn how to play cruisers and DDs. Once u learn the crusiers, u will find BBs boring to play.
So 16.8K range means hes not running the legendary module which wouldve pushed his range to 17.5K range for target engagement or the range mod which gives 18.4K range....It would be nice to see what his actual build would entail. I run DE and Eye in the sky. now what pisses me off is the fact that hes shooting HE at a broadside target knowing full well that his dispersion is godly. all he bot the nakimov and roon wouldve been dead in a volley for each...
Very nice! Good positioning and maneuvering - forcing the Immelmann into tail chases and bad drops.

Its not very viable. You still get dropped. He would have been better off with range mod and hydro

overall good game though he could have punished the yodo and roon much quicker with AP than HE
This, actually worked?! I must try it!
Good job Japanese heavy cruiser Zao

God damn
Игрок сыграл молодец Но ЗАО уже не тот в игре. Мой стоит в порту без дела.
Есть подозрение, что читерок этот товарищ. Метится сразу на точку упреждения, не корректируя ни разу, так обычный игрок не играет.
Tbh if you were to built AA...you'd be better off with the other IJN cruiser,Wooster or Petro meme build
